I tried to download it from the Microsoft Update but it failed the download. Time to try again.

Might try and download it from somewhere else if it fails again.

The servers are hosed at the moment, everyones trying to download it. I wouldn't download it from anywhere other than Microsoft

The issue with RMS are pretty mute for a home user, unless you have a Point of Sale system on your home PC...

Don't get too excited about it, hardly anythings changed.

Also, if anyone has Windows Live Mail installed, I suggest you don't download it just yet.

The two don't seem to play too well together, especially if you have to do a System Restore to get rid of it again if something else won't work with it. Then it completed screws up big style.

I've found a standalone installer for it which I am downloading now - the whole 316MB. I managed to get it downloaded from Windows Update, but it crashed.

I always prefer to have the setup stored on my computre with things like this. Means I can take it from computer to computer.
